Roy Clark Greatest Hits and a Short Progress Report

Despite surgery for cataracts, lots of visitors, projects for the wife, cold weather, and health issues, I've been putting some time on the car. I've had the workbenches curtained off from the car, so I don't have to heat the whole garage and am concentrating on several small jobs, like finishing my custom-made interior trim parts.

I got the door handles back from the plating shop, so they are now in place and waiting for the gold plugs that will fit in the ends of the grips.

I finally settled on a configuration for the arm rests, so I'm now making the parts for the other door.

The steering wheel design I had planned on using proved to be a problem merging the '56 horn rim to the truck steering wheel. I'm now totally redesigning those parts and it's been a hassle! Functionally, it now operates must better, and I am creating a new center section trim piece.

Hope to make more progress over the holidays and should have a few pictures by then.


I need to listen to this more often so I can get fired up to get back to work on my project! I had almost forgotten how talented he was.
